Awash with money and also with debt

-

SUDDENLY we are awash with money!

It would appear that despite the past 10 years of Tory government austerity and all the misery that has brought upon this country because of their policies, they have suddenly found the magical money tree.

Was it there all along and the Great Dictator and his motley crew knew exactly where to look?

Apparently “No!”, we are to borrow to add to the almost two trillion that this country already owes.

Has anyone ever told this rather pathetic excuse for a dictatorsh­ip that interest rates are just as likely to go up, and when they are at rock bottom as they are now, then that rise is an inevitabil­ity?

Who is to pay for this massive debt and more to the point is how?

Given that this almighty shower who rule us have declared that we are able to manage without farming (did they really employ someone with the complete lack of mental capacity required in order to think that one up?) and that we will more than likely leave our largest trading partner without a deal (something that was not part of any party manifesto, let alone this far-right rabble’s currently in charge) then just how are we to cope?

Perhaps some of this paper’s more enlightene­d contributo­rs can provide the answer – but please leave out the usual drivel churned out ad nauseam of “They need us more than we need them” or “All the world is queuing to trade with us” because so far I have seen no evidence whatsoever of either, just complete and utter incompeten­ce.

Sorry, youngsters – it’s all on your shoulders now! AW Jones Llandrindo­d Wells
